LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI and a walk in a 15-7 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

LeMahieu began the game with a double and came around to score on a Giancarlo Stanton homer. That set the tone for the Yankees, who finished with a season-high 15 runs. LeMahieu notched his second three-hit game of the campaign and has gone 6-for-13 with six runs, four doubles and two walks over his past three contests.

Urias (abdomen) isn't starting Friday against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive matchup as he continues to deal with abdominal discomfort. Rylan Bannon will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Walls was added to the Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays and will start at third base and bat ninth, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 25-year-old was originally absent from Friday's starting nine, but Yandy Diaz was a late scratch due to an illness. Walls is 1-for-22 two walks, two runs, a stolen base and nine strikeouts in his past seven contests.

Toro isn't starting Friday against the Mets.

Toro is in the midst of a slump in which he's gone 0-for-10 with two strikeouts, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Eugenio Suarez will start at third base while Mike Ford serves as the designated hitter.

Anderson (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and will start at third base Friday against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 28-year-old has been on the COVID-19 IL for the past week but has rejoined the Marlins after a one-game rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter. Anderson has seen most of his action at third base but has also started eight games in the outfield, and he should see most of his action at the hot corner for the foreseeable future with Joey Wendle (hamstring) moving to the 10-day IL.

Walls isn't starting Friday against the Blue Jays.

Walls will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last six matchups after hitting just .045 with two runs, a stolen base, two walks and nine strikeouts over his last seven games. Yandy Diaz will shift to the hot corner while Ji-Man Choi starts at first base.

Reynolds is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Reynolds will take a seat for the second time in the past three games after starting the previous four contests. Albert Almora enters the lineup in center field in his absence with Mike Moustakas shifting to the hot corner and Tyler Naquin handling DH.

Castro went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Thursday against the Reds.

Castro was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Thursday's game and started at shortstop while hitting ninth. It was his first appearance in the big leagues this season, though he accrued 93 plate appearances with Pittsburgh in 2021 and posted a .198/.258/.395 line. Cole Tucker was optioned in the corresponding move, so Castro should be able to find playing time at second base and shortstop until Kevin Newman (groin) is activated from the injured list.

Segura went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-7 win against the Dodgers.

Segura's second-inning double extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and he subsequently stole third base before coming home on a Kyle Schwarber single. During the hitting streak, the veteran infielder is slashing .457/.525/.743 with three homers, six RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases.

Moncada went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.

Moncada took reliever Jonathan Loaisiga deep in the seventh inning for a three-run shot that temporarily tied the game 7-7. The long ball was the third baseman's first of the season and also netted his first three RBI of the campaign. This was just the third game of 2022 for Moncada, who missed the first month of the season due to an oblique injury.
